An antidote of such acceleration ills is here by way of Mazda’s larger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which comes typical on the Touring and Grand Touring models for the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter keeps on inside the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, which is available simply with a six-speed auto, can still be specific using a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, the new mill bumps output by 29 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. So lucky, our CX-5 cracked off a 7.6-second 0-to-60 time and knocked down the quarter in 15.8. Welcome improvements to make sure, but at the cost of a few mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic has averaged a great 28 miles per gallon in mixed driving, however the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: About 40 % with the mileage within our 2.5-liter test car was accrued in foot-to-the-floor, no-quarter-given driving from the backwoods of northern Michigan. More restraint in the accelerator could yield results closer to the authorized EPA combined number of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow about 2000 pounds, enough tugging power for personal watercraft and small cargo trailers.
Nevertheless the numbers only tell element of the story. Whereas the 155-hp, 2.0-liter CX-5 is a willing but weak companion, the 184-hp, 2.5-liter car is a bit of an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations in which the base car would best wait for a wider opening. All the chassis goodness through the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, as well as the linear response and feedback with the electrically assisted steering are arguably best in class. It is a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in with the routine predictability of the Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even so the braking components are away from exotic-single-pot calipers throughout, 11.7-inch vented front rotors and 11.9-inch solid rotors in back-Mazda has tuned the setup well, and our CX-5 2.5 stopped from 70 mph in 166 feet.
